Coffee Thoughts For Today...!

While waiting for the coffee pot to brew a fresh batch, I ran across an interesting article on the benefits of caffeine that I wanted to pass on to you...it's from Parade magazine out of the Houston paper and the following is an excerpt from said article.

"A study from SUNY Downstate Medical Center found that seniors with normal blood pressure who drink four or more cups of coffee a day are less likely to die from heart disease. Caffeine is presumed to be protective by preventing the drop in blood pressure that often occurs in older folks after they eat. You can get the same benefit from any source of caffeine, including tea, cola or chocolate. But caffeine won't help if you have high blood pressure. "How about that? Three of my favorite foods are actually GOOD for me! Just confirms what I've always known, but couldn't prove (until now!).

About Me

I recently retired after serving my time working for other people. The one Truth I can attest to is that I don't like crowds. Not a good thing for someone living in a large city! So I am planning to move back to the country. Back to a place where I can sit on the front porch without worrying about getting mugged or shot at! Where the sounds of breeze in the trees and local wildlife replace the sounds of city strife. Where the light of the stars at night replace the streetlamps and neon. Most of all, I am going someplace where I can throw a rock and not hit my neighbor's house.
